I have seen several(at least 3) of these recovered with an equally unattractive rawhide type leather...the whole thing would be covered up, metal fittings and all...I never could quite figure out why.
NO worries Bill....you have no monopoly on "ugly lovables"....I think we all have a few like that in our collections.
